He talks about the importance of understanding your audience, assembling a swipe file of successful titles, and how to use psychological triggers like curiosity, fear, and desire to “earn the click”.

Discover why negativity may thrive on social media platforms but not in search engine optimization, and learn how to adapt your title strategies for different channels. Jake talks about the value of authority, timeliness, and title techniques that can elevate your content. Don't miss this chance to use video to up your game, captivate your audience. “There are three emotions to get the click: curiosity, fear & desire. Before you create your next piece of content, start with an open loop, a curiosity gap. We talked about fears or negativity: “stop doing this in your content” or “do this before you make your next piece of content”. Or desire: “how to make better content”, that's a pretty much straight up desire that people want.” -- Jake Thomas on The Recognized Authority podcast “A big mistake people make is writing titles that are too long or too wordy. If it takes a lot of mental energy to read a title you don't want to sit there and try to understand it.  It's the same thing with your content: make sure it's clear, using simple language so people can easily understand it.” -- Jake Thomas on The Recognized Authority podcast 🗒️ Show Notes 🗒️ Access all the links mentioned in this episode in the show notes here:  👉👉 https://therecognizedauthority.com/make-better-content-in-2023/ 👈👈 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✉️ Subscribe to the email list at TheRecognizedAuthority.com 🎙️ Record a question or voice message for the show at TheRecognizedAuthority.com/question ⭐ Like what you heard?
